Is the eq e or s that bad? I've been noticing more ix. At least it's not as ugly. | EQE, EQS, and iX are hella ugly but good EVs for EV _commuter_.
1) All 3 have a pretty good trip planner, built in nav
2) All 3 supercharge quite a bit faster than Tesla
3) All 3 are quite a bit more comfortable than Tesla models
4) Mercedes has eyes-off self drive for EQS, BMW's hands off self drive is the best non-Tesla highway system.
Their problem is the Rivian and Lucid exist - fashionable items, even better EVs, even better software.

I have to say, Lucid Gravity is definitely my next planned family vehicle based on reviews. I just need a test drive to confirm it's actually a car I would like and can live with. The Mercedes EVs don't do it for me, and BMW is axing the iX which is their only pure EV offering. I have a strong personal belief that in 5-10 years the infrastructure and tech would be significantly different from what we are seeing now as standardization proliferates through the market.
That's quite a few years out though as I expect to be driving the X5 for the next 5 years at least.

On the topic of Lucid, looks like CEO Peter Rawlinson is stepping down as CEO. Quote:
Electric vehicle maker Lucid Group on Tuesday said CEO Peter Rawlinson is stepping down as the company expects to more than double vehicle production this year to 20,000 units.
Lucid said Marc Winterhoff, currently the company’s chief operating officer, will step in as interim CEO. Rawlinson will serve as a “strategic technical advisor to the chairman of the board, stepping aside from his prior roles,” the company said.

thats horrible news! why is peter stepping down? hes the soul of that place and the reason why lucid was so handling/performance-focused. A real car guy's guy.
i figure ole petey boy lost a major fight with the bean counters, and the company is proceeding down a path he doesnt like anymore (trading engineering excellence for mass marketability)

I thought he was in it for the Saudi money? Was it the same guy that paid himself like 320 million when the company still doesn't make any money

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Well, a similar equipped RAV4 Prime = $72,797 out the door @ MSRP, I will say its a pretty good deal~
only used PHEV and EV are PST exempt and 5% GST only.
Brand new PHEV and EV under $70,000 still pays the full 12%, but just exempt from provincial luxury tax that usually starts at $55,000 for gasoline cars.
